Josh, thank I might have packaged a more advanced version? In any case it was a test/beta packaging. The tarball you pointed at, has the sane issues with mac packaging I encountered.
I will package that one.

That's not 0.48.4 that you packaged, that was from trunk. If you want to try packaging 0.48.4 for Mountain Lion you should grab an official release tarball such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/files/inkscape/0.48.4/inkscape-0.48...
Thanks for taking an interest in this. Hopefully someone who is more familiar with our packaging on OSX could chime in and/or give feedback.
Cheers, Josh

Hello,
I am not an official packager, but I was eager to have an updated version of Inkscape for Mac OS X and I noticed that nobody is packaging the new version.
I've packaged it for Mountain Lion and x86_64. It should be considered a beta packaging. I've packaged from version 0.48+devel r12005
You can download it at:

The Mac Os X packaging infrastructure in the source tree is a bit ancient. Things I've noticed:
- configure.ac uses syntax that is not conforming anymore with
autoconf/automake/authohear 1.13. Going forward that should be updated.
- the scripts osx-build.sh os-app.sh needs update for the newest Xcode
versions. they don't work out of the box.
- the dylib base relocation infrastructure needed to be rewritten
- the Platypus-derived ScriptExec executable might not be needed anymore
- in this version, the app bundle executes the sh script directly.
Features:
- The version I packaged runs gtk-2.0+quartz. It does not need
X11/Xquartz anymore to run. This is the direction GIMP has gone to as well.
- It uses the same theme as GIMP. I think it's a good consistency
decision, and it's the theme that looks best on Mtn Lion.
If somebody want to try and report problems, I'd appreciate it
